Ives 40B153 Surface Bolt 3 Inches Solid Brass Satin Nickel

Product Description

The IVES 40B153 is a solid brass surface bolt finished in satin nickel, designed to provide secondary latching and security for doors, gates, and shutters. Surface bolts mount directly to the face of a door or panel, allowing the bolt to slide into a strike to hold the door in a fixed position. At 3 inches in length, this bolt is sized for standard residential and light commercial applications. The solid brass construction resists corrosion and wear, and the satin nickel finish coordinates with common architectural hardware. Installation is straightforward and typically handled by carpenters, locksmiths, or general contractors as part of a door hardware package.

Surface bolts like the IVES 40B153 are commonly installed on double doors, inactive door leafs, French doors, cabinet doors, and gates where a secondary hold is needed in addition to the primary lockset. The satin nickel finish suits modern and transitional interior design schemes and coordinates with similarly finished hinges, handles, and pulls. Sold individually, this bolt is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit door hardware projects in residential and light commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Surface bolts are typically installed by carpenters, locksmiths, or general contractors using basic hand tools. Before installation, confirm door alignment so the bolt engages the strike cleanly without binding. Mark and pre-drill pilot holes to prevent wood splitting or misalignment. Follow local building codes where surface bolts are specified as secondary hardware on egress or fire-rated door assemblies.
